International commercial arbitration
Javořík, Dominik ; Bříza, Petr (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
1 International commercial arbitration Abstract The aim of this paper was to analyse the concepts of "arbitrability" and "kompetenz- kompetenz" as institutes of arbitration. For a better and deeper understanding of the essence of these concepts, both foreign and domestic regulations were deliberately compared. Although in many respects these concepts are interpreted in a similar manner across a wide range of jurisdictions, differences can be found, the source of which will have to be discovered in the first instance within traditions, legal culture, and sometimes religion or political regime. It is not in the power of even such greats as Born or Fouchard to present the entire issue to the reader in full, simply because of the fact that these terms are used almost universally and in many ways will be variable in place and time. In the first part, I dealt with the concept of international commercial arbitration itself, to which was linked a passage on sources of law. The purpose was to brief the reader on the most important sources at the international level, which are key guides for the regulation of arbitrability and the doctrine of competence-competence. I still find important the fact that many countries have claimed an exception that creates the possibility for them for an incomplete application of the...

Arbitrability of dispute and International Commercial Arbitration
Svatoš, Martin ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Kučera, Zdeněk (referee)
Arbitrability of dispute and International Commercial Arbitration - Summary Bc. Martin Svatoš The objective of this thesis is to explain the issue of arbitrability of disputes in an international commercial arbitration, especially to compare the Czech and the foreign approach. The thesis consists of three chapters, each of them dealing with different aspects of arbitrability. Chapter One is introductory and defines basic terminology used in the thesis: especially the definition of arbitrability and the question of choice-law. It addresses the issue of the institution deciding the objection of arbitrability and the distinction between the subjective and objective arbitrability, too. Chapter Two concerns the subjective arbitrability. The approach of subjective arbitrability argues whether the State or state entities could be a part of arbitration agreement. However, this claim was questioned by some states and some authors. It examines relevant Czech and other legislations, especially the legislation of states with relatively hostile approach to subjective arbitrability, e.g. Iran. It concerns the old approach of Belgium, too. It presents the approach of denial of justice by several states. Finally, it provides an outline of relevant case law and illustrates the today's point of view by important award...

Objective arbitrability as the limit of a transnational legal order
Vítek, Michal ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Bělohlávek, Alexander (referee) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT Objective arbitrability as a limit of the transnational legal order In general, the disertation deals with a topic of interaction between the transnational and national law in the area of international trade. Specifically, it attempts to use the concept of objective arbitrability as a limit of the privately-created system of law referred to as lex mercatoria (alternatively "new lex mercatoria"). The reason for the chosen methodology is to come up with the most objective criterion to demark the scope of the application of privately created norms. Despite the wide recognition of the NLM fenomenon among the scholars and even arbitrators, the parties of international trade contracts can not be certain whether (and to what extent) the choice of NLM will be limitating, especially in the face of later recognition and enforcement of their arbital awards. The findings of this dissertation flows from the analysis of transnational norms, decisions of both state courts and arbitration tribunals and the relevant sources of law-theory. Especially important is the description of the concept of lex mercatoria as such and the description of order public, both in national and international/european meaning as it represents the final limit of application of privately-created norms. The conclusion of the...

Case law influence on Czech national and international arbitration proceedings
Sedloňová, Věra ; Růžička, Květoslav (advisor) ; Müller, Milan (referee) ; Poláček, Bohumil (referee)
Case law influence on Czech national and international arbitration Proceedings Abstract Arbitration proceedings represent, besides civil judicial procedures, one of the methods for solution of material disputes in private-law relations. Arbitration proceedings have been used for quite a long time. In our territory they were used already under the rule of Charles IV. For example, Jakub Krčín and Štěpánek Netolický, who were well-known artificial lake engineers, belonged among highly appreciated arbitrators. Significant development of arbitration proceedings was registered after 1949, when the Steady Arbitration Court was established at the Czechoslovak Chamber of Commerce in May 1949 and exists up to now under the name "Arbitration Court attached to the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic". Legal regulation of arbitration proceedings was undergoing various changes. A principal change occurred in 1964, when the Act no. 98/1963 Coll., on arbitration proceedings in international trade and on enforcement of arbitration awards entered into force, admitting arbitration proceedings only in international trade relations and only for legal entities, at that time foreign trade enterprises. Another principal change then occurred as at 1 January 2015, the effective date of the...

Arbitration According Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris (ICC)
Žilinčíková, Ivana ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
Arbitration as an out-of-court form of business dispute resolution is becoming increasingly popular. One of the most important institutionalized arbitration on international level, is arbitration according the Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce located in Paris. One reason for choosing this type of arbitration is in particular the international importance and the authority that the International Chamber of Commerce and its affiliated institutions, in particular the ICC Court, have in the international trade area. I consider this type of arbitration to be one of the most appropriate forms of proceeding in international business disputes, what also confirms the history of its development, the benefits it provides by its principles and the authority that the arbitrators obtain. The process of adaptability of the proceeding and the highly skilled arbitrators provide a great ground for the smooth running of the whole process. The basic principles of this type of arbitration are the autonomy of the parties will, the principle of equality of parties, non-publicity, discretion, speed and economy. That 's why the greatest pressure is placed on arbitral tribunal members who, in addition to respecting the Rules ICC, must also strongly respect the imperative regulations and public order of the...

Legal position of an arbitrator in international commercial arbitration
Růžičková, Markéta ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Brodec, Jan (referee)
The thesis is dedicated to the issue of the legal status of arbitrator in international commercial arbitration. Arbitration is not a new phenomenon, much of its development has taken place in the 19th century, when alongside with arbitration ad hoc an institutional arbitration has also been created and permanent arbitration courts were established. The best known permanent arbitration court is undoubtedly the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. The first chapter focuses on the insight into the history of arbitration. Certain terms relating to arbitration are defined in the first chapter in particular the concept of international commercial arbitration. The question of arbitrability, ie. admissibility of arbitration, is also addressed there. In the second chapter the types of arbitration are analyzed - ad hoc and institutional arbitration, facultative and obligatory arbitration, traditional and online arbitration, international and domestic arbitration; as well as different types of arbitration agreements - agreement on an arbitrator, the arbitration clause, unlimited compromise, asymmetric, pathological and combined arbitration clause. The third chapter is dedicated to the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration compared to proceedings in...

The New Lex Mercatoria
Vítek, Michal ; Dobiáš, Petr (advisor) ; Pauknerová, Monika (referee)
NLM Abstract The topic of lex mercatoria does not represent any new nor revolutionary concept for the legal science, on the contrary it is a concept present in the european legal thinking since the middle ages. Despite of that it still remains without a clear and comprehensible theoretical framework thus in a stage of some sort of a legal hypothesis. This rigorous thesis describes in its five chapters the topic of lex mercatoria - specifically its up to date form: New Lex Mercatoria - not as a concept but as an applicable law and within the extent of this thesis attempts to come up with both the reasons for such perspective as well as with those which oppose it. For this reason it answers the following basic questions: Does a clear concept of the New Lex Mercatoria exist? Does such law have the historical continuity? Does such law have any clear distinctivness when compared to the legal orders of national states? Which norms create such legal order and who and under which conditions does enforce them?
